Bio

Lungelo Mpangase is a South African actress and influencer best known for her role as Khethiwe in the Mzansi Magic drama series eHostela.

It was her first starring role in television.

Lungelo's television acting debut would have been in the SABC1 Zulu drama Uselwa, in 2017, but the production was never completed amid mismanaged finances, accusations of theft and non-payment of cast and crew.

Her breakout role was as Khethiwe, a young woman who aspires to become a maskandi star, in the Mzansi Magic drama series eHostela.

Her first series starring role, the show premiered on 6 January, 2019. Her character was killed off in the first season.

She next appeared in an Mzansi Original Movie called Themba Lam, about a young man who pays for his lover's studies after landing a high-paying commercial, only for the tables to turn.

The movie, which was made by graduates of M-Net's Magic in Motion Academy, first aired on Mzansi Magic on Saturday 15 June, 2019.

In 2020, she landed another starring role, this time as Ntokozo - a girl who gets entangled in an elaborate human trafficking ring involving her biological mother - in the Mzansi Magic drama series Mzali Wami.

The series debuted on 1Magic on 2 January, 2021 and on Mzansi Magic two days later, on 4 January.

In 2022 she portrayed Sambulo's (Sipho Ndlovu) girlfriend Xoli on the third season of the Showmax telenovela The Wife, making her first appearance in Episode 2.

From 2022 to 2023 she played Poppy Tshabalala on the 1Magic telenovela Lingashoni. Poppy was introduced towards the end of Season 1 when the Tshabalala family was written into the show and she remained in the series for Season 2.

In 2023 Lungelo was cast in her third starring role, on the e.tv telenovela Nikiwe, where she plays the title character.
